Expert Garbage Disposal Repairs
A working garbage disposal is a key part of any kitchen plumbing system, as it helps you manage food waste quickly and keep things running smoothly. At Unique Indoor Comfort, we offer expert garbage disposal repairs to get your kitchen back in shape fast.
You may need garbage disposal repairs if you notice:
- Frequent clogs: If your disposal clogs often, even with small amounts of food, it could be a sign of dull blades or a deeper issue.
- Strange noises: Unusual grinding, rattling, or humming sounds may indicate a jam, loose parts, or motor problems.
- Bad odors: Persistent smells that don’t go away after cleaning could mean food is trapped deep in the system.
- Slow drainage: If water takes too long to drain, your disposal might be partially blocked or not breaking down food properly.
- Unit won’t turn on: If the disposal doesn’t start at all, it could be an electrical issue or a failed motor.

Garbage Disposal Maintenance Tips
Keeping your garbage disposal in good shape is easier than you might think. Here are a few simple tips to help you avoid clogs, odors, and early breakdowns:
- Avoid tough or fibrous foods: Steer clear of putting items like corn husks, celery, potato peels, or onion skins down the disposal — they can wrap around the blades and cause jams.
- Don’t pour grease or oil: Fats can solidify in your pipes and create stubborn blockages over time.
- Cut waste into smaller pieces: Breaking up larger scraps of food before tossing them in can reduce strain on the motor.
With a little routine care, your garbage disposal will keep your kitchen plumbing running smoothly for years to come.

Garbage Disposal FAQs
What should I do if I drop something down my garbage disposal on accident?
First, turn off the power to the disposal to avoid injury or damage. Then, use tongs or pliers to carefully remove the item. Never use your hands, as this is a serious risk for injury.
How can I address unpleasant odors coming from my garbage disposal?
You can clean and deodorize your disposal by grinding a few ice cubes with lemon peels or using a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. Running cold water for a few seconds after each use also helps flush out lingering debris.
Is it better to repair or replace a garbage disposal?
If the issue is minor and the unit is relatively new, a repair is often the most cost-effective option. However, if your disposal is older, constantly jamming, or leaking, replacement may save you time and money in the long run.
